Living Memoirs

Never let them slip away
Memories retold
Preserved from long ago

Of roving ships
From shore to shore
As droves disembark
And clamor for distant promise

Never forsake them
Or befoul their ghosts
Entombed in the hearts and minds of kin

Salvos and shackles
Hold true to this day
For shivering masses
Remain within us all

Never defer
From shrill lessons learned
The scorn forebears
Have braved and endured

Their time dwells
Within our very roots
Emerging here and there
To chide
And to lovingly jolt us forth

The past
Our loyal
Tried and true friend
A child of dismay
Reared trough triumph
Toil and tribulation

    Hey, I like this a lot. Actually, I like this whole category quite a bit and I’m looking forward to browsing through more of your writing.
    I’m Tyler, one of the editors for Bard Publishing, and we’re looking for contributors from outside our immediate area (currently, the Monterey Bay, California area) to publish on our blog and eventually in print editions of our zine “Indecent”. Our goal is to build a community of writers, artists and like minds in order to take over the world, or something. At the very least, we just want to hear and be heard, and to allow others a space to do the same. To inform the populace that it’s time to step up our game. If you’d like to contribute anything to the community, hop on over to our blog, check out what we’re about, and you’ll find all the info you need to submit work and whatnot.
    Everything is a Construction / Buildings can be Broken,
    Tyler
